ONE sugar or two? With or without milk? Journal readers have had their say on what makes the perfect cup of tea.

To celebrate National Tea Day on April 21, we asked our readers on Facebook 'what is the perfect way to make a cup of tea?' and we received a lot of interesting responses.

Vanessa Browning has a sweet tooth, share said: "Strong one, with sugar and plenty of them."

Chris Harries' method is a crime against humanity: "I put the milk in first."

Ann Boot keeps it simple: "Red tea for me, no milk or sugar."

It sounds like Jane Ridsdill's uncle had the best job ever, she said: "My uncle was a tea taster and he always said milk last."

Loraine White shared two valuable methods: "If it is poured from a teapot then milk goes first, but if the tea bag is in the cup then always pour milk after."

We must try Jamie Lynam's recipe: "23 sugars, two pints of milk, rip the tea bag open and top it up with pond water. Perfect!"

No sugar for Adam Milford: "Black with two sweeteners."

Roy Dear always has round two ready: "Should be made in a pot and brewed for five minutes. Put milk and sugar in the cup then pour on the tea. Drink, then pour another."

A pint of tea is enough for Katie Swaby: "Loose leaf, strong, milk no sugar, in a pint mug."
